Can this really be a 65?

Yep, it could be a '65 alright. I saw one about 20 years ago in Georgia, just like it. Seeing the car in this condition makes me regret not buying a '62 limo that was sold at the Kruse Auction Park in Auburn IN about 10 years ago for $200. It drove, at least to the spot on the auction parking lot. Would have been an awesome parts car, if nothing else. Tom

A similar thing happened with Cadillac's 1948 and 1949 models.

For 1948 the limousines and commercial chassis kept 1947 styling while the regular passenger cars got an all-new body. For 1949 the commercial chassis changed but the limousines again kept 1947 styling.

Finally, for the 1950 model year, a funeral director could buy a matching set of Cadillacs.

THe biggest difference between the 48 Fleetwood Series 75 and the 1949 model was the 1949 received the OHV V-8 while the 1948 model had the flathead 8

Didn't the 65 limo use the newer transmission? Reverse would be next to the park and not all the way to the right when shifting. I know the 65 limo used different hubcaps than the 64. That is an easy way to tell. I think there are other very small differences like the ones above.
